You will either love it, or think it absurd. Aronofsky is at full symbolic best in this film, so if you buy into it, buy his vision and embrace the meditation on themes it is glorious. If you want an engaging narrative and some cool sci fi, go watch Gravity.

Full of symbolism and pretty pictures this movie will strike your soul if you have one. Once the credits roll it will be like waking from a dream.

Contrary to many opinions of this film, The Fountain stands as an all time favourite of mine. The layering of timelines combined with Aronofsky's eye just made for a beautiful experience. A truly underrated masterpiece.
